How does a person become dehydrated?
Inadequate intake or excessive loss of water or fluids from the body will make a person dehydrated. Compare a person’s body to a water tank. When less water is placed while more volume is taken out, the water stored in the tank can become insufficient that the water you will get is insufficient when you open its faucet. That analogy works similar to person’s body. As body water decreases, the water and fluids amount in the body cells also decrease – that is when signs of dehydration start to show up to give a signal that your body needs more water fluids. Thirst, headache,mouth skin dryness, and weakness will be felt. Heart beats and respiration can increase, blood pressure can decrease, etc. Nausea, vomiting, excessive sweating and fever are some of the common causes of the dehydration. Many diseases can also be a cause such as diabetes.
